• Spreading Goodness: A modern 'Satyagraha'




    Goodness knows no boundaries - Our Chetna hero this week literally knows no limits. She is unstoppable as she has been charging ahead for the last 3 decades working on several common and uncommon issues, not resting to take a break, not filtering out issues by gravity as she recognizes that what could be a non-concern for one might be the bane of another’s life. Not easily classified under any one category of philanthropic services and frequently recognized in her district, Mary canvasses a story that needs to be retold far and wide till there is at least one copy of her in each district of India.
    Champaran, Bihar is famous for the many eminent personalities it has borne and the historic nonviolent, civil movement it conceived in the great Indian struggle of Independence. But it didn’t stop there to produce the few marvels that continue to inspire generations and lay the foundation of human dignity and growth. Mary Adline is a household name in Champaran, Uttar Pradesh, and is a ‘Satyagraha’ by herself for the range of social causes that she has adopted and for the enormity of the impact she has created in every person’s life in her area of operation. Education, women empowerment, clean India movement, alcohol abolition, unemployment, the prohibition of girl child marriage, prevention of sexual violence and more – this is an encyclopedia of social upliftment that Mary Adline devotes her life to.
